Don Cooper quote regarding Danks surgery. I did not know there is a chance that Danks might not be able to pitch next season:

"I believe (Johan) Santana had the same surgery (at the end of 2010), and he wasn't able to compete (in 2011)," pitching coach Don Cooper said. "We are going to have to stay on top of that and keep an eye on."
